## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability eia-us-energy-benchmark-prices-82457722
```

Example prompt: What are the current US energy benchmark prices — things like WTI crude oil, natural gas at Henry Hub, and retail gasoline — from the EIA?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative US energy benchmark price data (crude oil, natural gas, electricity) sourced directly from the US government's EIA open data API, especially in a pay-per-call agent workflow using x402/USDC micropayments on Base. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, machine-readable price data suitable for financial analysis or monitoring pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed query string returns an error response
- EIA API upstream outage may result in failed or stale data
- Querying an unsupported EIA series identifier returns no results
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 prevents response

## How this service works

## Output

Returns US energy benchmark price data sourced from the EIA open data API, including price values, commodity identifiers, units, and associated dates for energy series such as crude oil, natural gas, and electricity benchmarks.
